Eagle Land: Difference between revisions

* Latin America, or at least some parts of it, is actually the place where the USA is disliked—if not hated—the most, due mainly to its alleged involvement (which is by now [[Popcultural Osmosis]] whether it's true or not and [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|let's not argue about that]]) during the Cold War in political movements against leftist popular governments. Specially the Cuban Revolution and the Presidential Crisis with Salvador Allende in Chile, which a lot of intelectuals blame the CIA for manipulating everything. Most books based on this events will portray Americans as hypocrites claiming words of peace while murdering hundreds and stealing the country's resources, and it's important to remember Fidel Castro and El Che are admired or idolized on a lot of parts of the continent, so the USA fear of communism and specially the Monroe Doctrine are not seen as good things. This is far from universal, tough, but it still is staggering for several Americans how hated they are in countries such as Chile and Guatemala and certain parts of others like Brazil or Mexico.

** Ironically, Between Latin Americans themselves, both ''Mexicans and Argentinians'' are the Spanish-speaking versions of this trope, but unlike Americans, this is normally [[Played for Laughs]]. (Although not so much for the Mexicans)
